The GALL TO LOWELL.
Rev. c. n. DanieIs's Letter OF peclln-
alton.

We publish this morning the full text of
Mr.. Daniels's letter to the committee of
High street church, Lowell, Mass, declining
tie flattering call extended to him. The fol-
lowing is the letter.
PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. 8. 1887.
The call to the pastorate of the High street
congregational church and society of Lowell
Mass, has been put into my hands by the com,
mlttee appointed for that purpose and has been
the subject OF deyout consideration.
with full appreciation OF the Importance OF
the church, both from location and reputation
with more than ordinary drawings to the peopIe
whose courtesy have felt in measure that
proves ~ TO be generous, and with a sense that
there are attractive points in the church which
would call out heart and mind am vet com
PEELED to listen to the calls which bind me TO nv
present parish. Its Importance, as a field Of
work, cannot be mistaken. IL has to me tender
est attractions, as well as imperative calls.
humDly beg you TO receive my declination of
the call, with which you have honored me, in the
same kindly spirit which has peryaded all our
intercourse and for which am profoundly CRATE
full.
Let all be assured that do not look upon this
call as in any sense inferior. 1t is far from me to
mink so: The contrary is true. 1t is call to task
any minister's best endeavors.
Mniie llus we may not walk together in Christs
work, may not express my heartfelt interest in
al your welfare; join my prayers with yours for
the speedy appointment of an efficient minister of
Jesus Christ, and hope that all your future NAV be
IN tne spirit OF harmony which has greatly at
tracted me to your fellowship?
Very sincerely,
G. II. DANIELS.
The public generally will unite with the
Second Parish in the expressions of pleasure
that Mr.. Daniels will remain In Portland.

The Republican gathering at Augusta on
Thursday evening was made up of promi-
nent members of the party from every Sec
ton of the State. For gathering Of its
kind it was remarkable for its numbers and
for the earnest and determined spirit of the
gentlemen who took part in it. Evidently
the Republican party of Maine was never in
better condition than today, and never
more determined that nothing which it can
do to wrest the national government from
the hands of the Democracy shall be left UNI

He had intended to have worn a wig as

hat under his arm, after the style of the
day. The wig was ordered, but tradition
says that the hair,lresser made it TOO
small and that he could not get ii upon
the massive Uranium of DIR. Franklin. He
worked at it for a long time, and upon
Franklin finally limiting that the wig was
perhaps not large enough, the hairdresser
angrily dashed il 10 the floor, saying:
Monsieur, il is impossible. II is not the
wig which is too small; il is your head
which is too large" And, as il Was now
too late to procure another one, Franklin
was compelled 10 go without il. Having
